Paul Damian Weimholt passed away on Friday August 10, 2012 from sudden cardiac arrest while in Laguna Beach, CA. He was 46.

Paul was born in Ridgecrest to James and Mary Weimholt on August 26, 1965, and attended schools in China Lake and Ridgecrest, graduating from Burroughs High School in 1983.

Paul's artistic talents were evident early and he spent his time studying art and drafting before deciding to join the Navy, where he spent four years and served aboard the USS Texas, CGN-39.

Back in Ridgecrest in 1990, his talents and passion for drawing lead him to acquire some basic screen-printing equipment, allowing him to print small jobs in his garage. He continued to develop his printing skills and acquire a loyal customer base, and in 1992 officially opened what we have all come to recognize as the Outrage'n T-Shirt Co.

Shortly after that he met his future wife, Colette Rae Seaman. Together they enjoyed hiking, camping, river rafting, rock climbing, and most anything outdoors they could do together. They married in 1997 and had their first child, Devon, in 1998. Their second child, Connor, was born in 2001.

Paul was actively involved in his community. As an avid soccer player, he coached several soccer teams, including his son's Scorpion team, the Lady Burroughs Varsity team, and several other youth teams. He also built props for his daughter's dance recitals, and benches for the kid's school. In the past couple years he had become very involved in the Ridgecrest CrossFit Community, instructing several classes a week.

Paul's number one passion in life, however, has always been his wife and children. They spent every available weekend together traveling either down to the beach, up to the mountains, or just hiking up behind the college.

Paul was preceded in death by his mother, Mary Weimholt, and his sister, Andrea.

He is survived by his wife, Colette, and children, Devon and Connor.

Also surviving are his father, James Weimholt, a brother, Brendan, and his sisters, Maria and Susan.
